Help us put an end to the current wave of burglaries in the Garden Acres Neighborhood

Organizational Meeting: Neighborhood Crime Watch
• Thursday, May 15, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
• Tanglewood Park (main pavilion)

Residents of the Garden Acres subdivision have reported six break-ins over the last few months. Thieves are targeting flat-screen TVs, guns and gold. They are casing the neighborhood on weekdays. When they find a house with no one at home, they kick in a door and run rampant.

In response, the Garden Acres Neighborhood Association is organizing a Neighborhood Crime Watch for the subdivision. All residents of the subdivision are invited to attend the organizational meeting.

Officer J.P. Ingram and Officer Robyn Neveu of the Bryan Police Department will answer any questions and recruit block captains for the Garden Acres Neighborhood Crime Watch Program.

We will seek volunteers to encourage neighborhood residents to:
• Keep an eye out for strangers and strange vehicles in the neighborhood.
• Report suspicious activity to police.
• Watch neighbors’ homes when they are out of town.
• Lock up gold, guns and other valuables.
• Keep records of serial numbers on television and other electronic equipment.
• Engrave valuables with identification numbers.
• Contribute money to purchase and post “Neighborhood Crime Watch” signs throughout the subdivision. (Signs are $35 each. Send checks to Garden Acres Neighborhood Association, 723 Inwood Dr, Bryan, 77802)

Our goal is simple: To make our neighborhood uncomfortable and unprofitable for our city’s criminals.

Join us. Attend the meeting on May 15.
